UK Omaha Series to be Hosted by The Vic

World-famous London poker room The Vic will be running their UK Omaha Series next month.

The four-day festival, which runs from February 23 to 26, will include five deep-stacked and slow-structured events with buy-ins from £100 to £500. The three most interesting tournaments will be a £500+£50 buy-in Pot-Limit Omaha Freezeout two-day main event on the Saturday and Sunday, a £150+£15 buy-in Pot-Limit Omaha Six-Max Turbo, and a £200+£20 buy-in Pot-Limit Omaha Hi-Lo Freezeout – with both taking place on the 26th. The Vic will also run £70 buy-in Freezeout satellites on Wednesday, February 1, 8 and 22, while single table satellites will run throughout the festival and February.

Non-loyalty bonus Sundays, meanwhile, will now play host to a £50 buy-in No-Limit Hold’em Freezeout that possesses a 10,000-chip starting stack and 25-minute blind levels. Both of the events – which have no rake or registration fees – will begin at 3pm.

Additionally, The Vic’s rake cash game loyalty bonus scheme will, for five weeks from Monday, January 30, until Sunday, March 4, see the £250 jackpot removed and given to the player who managed to secure the week’s biggest hand, while the poker room will also add £250 to double the prize money.
